Description

In the Linux kernel before 6.4.12, amdgpu_cs_wait_all_fences in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs.c has a fence use-after-free. A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU driver which may allow access to members of a synchronization structure after the structure is freed. This issue could allow a local user to crash the system or to access confidential system memory.
